What is Solita Project Lead Manifesto? – Key elements of our manifesto

The Project Lead Manifesto is a set of principles and values that outline the expectations and responsibilities of our project leads. The purpose of it isn’t just to tell how Project Leads work, but also to work as a backbone for the difficult decisions Project Leads face. When in doubt we can always return to our manifesto.

Prioritising team well-being

Project Leads are expected to prioritise the well-being of their team members above all else. This includes fostering a supportive and caring environment, promoting work-life balance, and proactively addressing mental health and stress issues.

Empowering individuals

Project Leads are encouraged to empower individuals within their teams by providing them with autonomy, responsibility, and opportunities for growth and development. This empowerment allows team members to take ownership of their work and contribute meaningfully to project outcomes.

Balancing short-term goals with long-term value

Project Leads are encouraged to adopt a strategic and forward-thinking approach to decision-making, balancing short-term goals with long-term value creation. This involves considering the broader implications of decisions and prioritising strategies that promote sustainable growth and innovation.

Open communication

Open and honest communication is emphasised as a fundamental principle of effective project leadership. Project Leads are expected to facilitate transparent communication within their teams, encouraging dialogue, feedback, and collaboration. Project Leads are responsible for building trust and collaboration within their teams and with other stakeholders. Trust is established through consistent actions, integrity, and a genuine commitment to the well-being and success of team members.

What kind of projects do we lead?

Our key technology areas and projects each have their own unique characteristics.

Data analytics and integration projects

We are a top data expertise hub, delivering diverse data, analytics, and integration projects. Project Leads interests might include data science, machine learning, reporting, or data platforms.

Public cloud projects

Typical projects involve AWS, Azure, or GCP, along with application development and data services. These include cloud consulting, migration, and managed cloud projects. Understanding continuous services and service management (ITIL) is a key, as many projects move to ongoing maintenance.

Custom software solutions projects

We deliver custom software solutions combining data, integration, cloud services, and service design. Projects cover the entire lifecycle from concept to implementation and ongoing services. Agile development is central and our Project Leads may work in roles like Scrum Master or Product Owner.

Cases where our project leads are involved – Our cases

Five reasons to join Solita as a Project Lead

Your role is wide: Depending on your knowledge and experience, customer, project and business unit, our Project Lead role can include variable tasks and responsibilities – everything from managing services, customer projects and the project team. You also have the autonomy and possibility to affect your own work, and we enable people to be self-directed. We are looking for people who are proactive and who take ownership of their work.
Our customer portfolio is versatile: We have different types of meaningful customer projects from both private and public sectors, and our Project Leads can concentrate on only a few projects at the same time. Our tech professionals are passionate about quality which helps our Project Leads to succeed in their work. We always put effort into finding a project that suits your experience and interest in the best way possible.
Caring community: We have a passionate community of over 100 Project Leads who actively share their knowledge, experiences and best practices with others, and are there to offer peer support. Every Project Lead also has their own People Lead who is there to listen and support.
A culture that puts people first: Our people are our most important asset. We put a lot of effort into supporting our employees’ well-being and work-life balance. Our Project Leaders are people-centric leaders to our customers and project teams. Read more about our caring culture here.
You have room to grow: Continuous learning is in our DNA. When you arrive, you don’t have to be ready. In our opinion, you never have to be. Together we find the best way for you to learn and grow – for example with our in-house learning paths, info sessions, mentor programs, and offering possibilities to learn from each other.
